Change vnode type

Just wondering what would happen if we change the VNode type from:

const vnode = {
  type: "h1",
  props: { class: "heading" },
  children: "Hello"
}

to this:

const vnode = ["h1", { class: "heading" }, "Hello"]

To generate the vnode you call h("h1", { class: "heading" }, "Hello") as usual.

This is a private API, so it would not be a breaking change unless you were creating vnodes directly without h().

you should bench this. javascript JITs will recognize the object by its consistent shape and optimize it via a hidden class. arrays are only faster for iteration. i dont think you intend to iterate vnode properties so it’s likely a net perf regression.

@Swizz We could still have a function that turns a VNode into a cool array VNode though.
